Hey, I'm trying to figure out how to convert 4-methylpentanoic acid into 4-methyl-2-bromopentanoic acid and I'm stuck. It's second semester O-chem for reference. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sure I remember my own birth. Kept the umbilical cord for days when I get nostalgic.The point was that several of the times I've used have been awesome in their ability to change the way I see things. I've taken very high doses on rare occasions to achieve the viewpoint I'm talking about. The...

I appreciate your concern, but I've found that the mind-shattering perspective gained through these experiences outweighs the documented risks associated with occasional use. It's right up there with birth and death. One thing I am still curious about is the aspect of accelerating the...

Thanks for the links, that made for some interesting reading. Might I suggest http://www.erowid.org/ if you are interested in a neutral and scientific approach to human-drug interaction. As for an explanation of living 2 years time within 14 hours, I honestly cannot explain what it was...

I occasionally have used natural psychedelic drugs for spiritual and scientific purposes (I do not abuse them and I treat them with the utmost respect), and have found that on several of these occasions my sense of time became severely distorted and disconnected. On the first of these occasions...

solution: 02:00 because when they're seen on a digital watch they have 5:6,7:8,9:10,11:12 lines.(The smallest possible ones must be the solution.) or From the 1st set to the 3rd set, you replace the 1's with 0's. Following the same logic of replacing the 1's with 0's, going from the 2nd set...

They are specific times that have something in common. If you figure out the relationship between the first three, the last one will be apparent.

It's a challenging problem, don't leave out speed in your figuring...

Four cannibalistic spiders are placed one in each corner of a square room. The length of each side is 10 feet. They are released simultaneously and each spider starts moving directly towards the neighbor on its right at the same constant speed. How far will each spider move before they all meet...

Here is the answer Pirate #5 should propose the following distribution for (5,4,3,2,1): 997,0,1,0,2 Let us look at this problem in reverse order: 1. If there is only one pirate left, then he gets all the gold. 2. If there are two pirates left, then pirate 4 has to offer all the gold...

There are 5 pirates numbered 1 through 5. They have to divide 1,000 gold coins amongst themselves. Any proposal on how to divide the coins has to be passed by a majority, otherwise the pirate proposing it is thrown overboard. All the pirates are assumed to be greedy and intelligent . They have...

Ok that's what I figured, but this brings up another question: the gas ring is supposed to become more visible as the shockwave approaches. However, I was wondering how the gas ring got outside the shockwave in the first place, and why is there a difference in velocity between the two?

I have a question regarding Supernova SN1987A. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the gas ring that surrounds it was the result of the explosion itself, or if it was there prior to it?

Quick question: I'm a frequent user of Kazaa's peer-peer network to obtain music files. I would like to continue downloading without the concern of a lawsuit, so I am wondering if anyone knows a simple way to fake/hide your ip address without altering the port you're plugged into. Could I...
